Help me give my students wooden letter tiles, letter beads, pipe cleaners, card stock paper, plastic protective sheets, plastic containers and a few other items so that they can use to work in small learning groups.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My awesome second graders come from a very low socioeconomic background with some falling below the poverty line. They are mainly English language learners (80%), and many of them live in homes which house multiple families under the same roof.
On average, 2 or 3 students in my classroom are considered homeless and struggle to find suitable housing.
They qualify for assistance through The McKinney Vento Homeless Assistance Act. Some of my students are latchkey children. Some of these seven- and eight-year-olds have the sole responsibility of taking care of their younger siblings while their parents are working. Many of their parents have more than one job.
Our school is Title I and 80% of the children receive free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch. My children have extremely limited access to technology in their homes, yet, with all these obstacles, my students come to school with much enthusiasm and an eager desire to learn. As a teacher, I am very passionate about bringing STEAM to my classroom on a weekly basis. I feel that STEM provides students with the 4 C's: collaboration, critical thinking, creativity and communication.
My Project
What is the Daily Five? The Daily Five is is a literacy structure that allows for differentiation in the classroom. It is a system of five literacy tasks that teaches students independence. It gets students to become engage in the act of reading an writing for 45 minutes daily. Teacher meets with a group while other students work independently in small groups. I feel that in order for students to be successful at reading, writing and science, they must have access to materials that meet their needs. This is why my colleagues and I are asking for wooden letter tiles, small letter beads, pipe cleaners, white card stocks and protective plastic sheets in order to make phonics reading hands-on materials & games for students to have access to during small group activities. Reading is the key to success!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
